Hot 100: Ariana Grande Opens In Top 5 With ‘No Tears Left To Cry’

Ariana Grande has arrived on the Billboard Hot 100 with comeback jam ‘No Tears Left To Cry’ and she’s made quite the entrance.

Full story below…

The song, which serves as the lead single from the songbird’s fourth studio album, premieres at #3 on the coveted count.

So what do the numbers look like?

Within its debut tracking week, ‘No Tears’ earned 36.9 million US streams, 100,000 digital downloads, and an all-format radio audience of 27 million.

Grande now boasts nine Hot 100 top 10’s, with her latest becoming her sixth to debut in the region.

She becomes tied with Rihanna and Lady Gaga for sixth place among all acts for the most top 10 debuts. They are collectively bested by Taylor Swift (14), Drake (12), Eminem (eight), Justin Bieber and Lil Wayne (seven a piece).

In any case, it’s a stellar launch for Grande’s new campaign and immediately sets quite the springboard for whatever is coming next.

It’ll fall. The only thing that put it up there was her anticipated comeback and the people who liked the video. The song itself is terrible. A couple Post Malone songs will probably make its way into the top 10 next.

The song is basic but it’s still cute. I think the audio sounds better in the video than on the song itself. The video has great replay value. I’ve also heard this is a standalone single and not the “first” single, much like “Focus”
was for the Dangerous Woman album. Either way, I’ve been listening to this song on repeat and she’s slaying out the gate.
